LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK TWP. — A Delaware man wanted on eight warrants in seven different South Jersey municipalities was arrested after he was discovered by police to be soliciting without a permit, police said.

Henry Wells, 38, of Cardinal Ave., Bear, was arrested on July 21 at 1:10 p.m. for his numerous warrants and for soliciting driveway work from residents without a permit, according to police.

A complaint was received that the operator of a blue Chevrolet pickup truck was driving door-to-door in the Harmersville-Canton area asking residents if they wanted driveway work done. Cpl.

They not only learned that Wells had failed to obtain a soliciting permit, but that he was also wanted in seven South Jersey municipalities on a total of eight warrants with bail totaling $6,560, according to police.

Wells was wanted in Buena Boro on two warrants with bail set at $259 and $250; Mantua Township, bail set at $3,000; Salem City, bail set at $250; Pilesgrove Township, bail set at $550; Carneys Point Township, bail set at $501; Vineland City, bail set at $250; and Hamilton Township with bail set at $1,500.
